Romans 4:1-17

4:1

What
<5101>

shall we say
<2046> (5692)

then
<3767>

that Abraham
<11>

our
<2257>

father
<3962>_,

as pertaining
<2596>

to the flesh
<4561>_,

hath found
<2147> (5760)_?

4:2

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

Abraham
<11>

were justified
<1344> (5681)

by
<1537>

works
<2041>_,

he hath
<2192> (5719)

[whereof] to glory
<2745>_;

but
<235>

not
<3756>

before
<4314>

God
<2316>_.

4:3

For
<1063>

what
<5101>

saith
<3004> (5719)

the scripture
<1124>_?

<1161>

Abraham
<11>

believed
<4100> (5656)

God
<2316>_,

and
<2532>

it was counted
<3049> (5681)

unto him
<846>

for
<1519>

righteousness
<1343>_.

4:4

Now
<1161>

to him that worketh
<2038> (5740)

is
<3049> (0)

the reward
<3408>

not
<3756>

reckoned
<3049> (5736)

of
<2596>

grace
<5485>_,

but
<235>

of
<2596>

debt
<3783>_.

4:5

But
<1161>

to him that worketh
<2038> (5740)

not
<3361>_,

but
<1161>

believeth
<4100> (5723)

on
<1909>

him that justifieth
<1344> (5723)

the ungodly
<765>_,

his
<846>

faith
<4102>

is counted
<3049> (5736)

for
<1519>

righteousness
<1343>_.

4:6

Even as
<2509>

David
<1138>

also
<2532>

describeth
<3004> (5719)

the blessedness
<3108>

of the man
<444>_,

unto whom
<3739>

God
<2316>

imputeth
<3049> (5736)

righteousness
<1343>

without
<5565>

works
<2041>_,

4:7

[Saying], Blessed
<3107>

[are] they whose
<3739>

iniquities
<458>

are forgiven
<863> (5681)_,

and
<2532>

whose
<3739>

sins
<266>

are covered
<1943> (5681)_.

4:8

Blessed
<3107>

[is] the man
<435>

to whom
<3739>

the Lord
<2962>

will
<3049> (0)

not
<3364>

impute
<3049> (5667)

sin
<266>_.

4:9

[Cometh] this
<3778>

blessedness
<3108>

then
<3767>

upon
<1909>

the circumcision
<4061>

[only], or
<2228>

upon
<1909>

the uncircumcision
<203>

also
<2532>_?

for
<1063>

we say
<3004> (5719)

that
<3754>

faith
<4102>

was reckoned
<3049> (5681)

to Abraham
<11>

for
<1519>

righteousness
<1343>_.

4:10

How
<4459>

was it
<3049> (0)

then
<3767>

reckoned
<3049> (5681)_?

when he was
<5607> (5752)

in
<1722>

circumcision
<4061>_,

or
<2228>

in
<1722>

uncircumcision
<203>_?

Not
<3756>

in
<1722>

circumcision
<4061>_,

but
<235>

in
<1722>

uncircumcision
<203>_.

4:11

And
<2532>

he received
<2983> (5627)

the sign
<4592>

of circumcision
<4061>_,

a seal
<4973>

of the righteousness
<1343>

of the faith
<4102>

which
<3588>

[he had yet] being
<1722>

uncircumcised
<203>_:

that
<1519>

he
<846>

might be
<1511> (5750)

the father
<3962>

of all
<3956>

them that believe
<4100> (5723)_,

though
<1223>

they be not circumcised
<203>_;

that
<1519>

righteousness
<1343>

might be imputed
<3049> (5683)

unto them
<846>

also
<2532>_:

4:12

And
<2532>

the father
<3962>

of circumcision
<4061>

to them who are not
<3756>

of
<1537>

the circumcision
<4061>

only
<3440>_,

but
<235>

who also
<2532>

walk
<4748> (5723)

in the steps
<2487>

of that faith
<4102>

of our
<2257>

father
<3962>

Abraham
<11>_,

which [he had] being
<1722>

[yet] uncircumcised
<203>_.

4:13

For
<1063>

the promise
<1860>_,

that he should be
<1511> (5750)

the
<846>

heir
<2818>

of the world
<2889>_,

[was] not
<3756>

to Abraham
<11>_,

or
<2228>

to his
<846>

seed
<4690>_,

through
<1223>

the law
<3551>_,

but
<235>

through
<1223>

the righteousness
<1343>

of faith
<4102>_.

4:14

For
<1063>

if
<1487>

they which are of
<1537>

the law
<3551>

[be] heirs
<2818>_,

faith
<4102>

is made void
<2758> (5769)_,

and
<2532>

the promise
<1860>

made of none effect
<2673> (5769)_:

4:15

Because
<1063>

the law
<3551>

worketh
<2716> (5736)

wrath
<3709>_:

for
<1063>

where
<3757>

no
<3756>

law
<3551>

is
<2076> (5748)_,

[there is] no
<3761>

transgression
<3847>_.

4:16

Therefore
<1223> <5124>

[it is] of
<1537>

faith
<4102>_,

that
<2443>

[it might be] by
<2596>

grace
<5485>_;

to the end
<1519>

the promise
<1860>

might be
<1511> (5750)

sure
<949>

to all
<3956>

the seed
<4690>_;

not
<3756>

to that only
<3440>

which is of
<1537>

the law
<3551>_,

but
<235>

to that also
<2532>

which is of
<1537>

the faith
<4102>

of Abraham
<11>_;

who
<3739>

is
<2076> (5748)

the father
<3962>

of us
<2257>

all
<3956>_,

4:17

(As
<2531>

it is written
<1125> (5769)_,

<3754>

I have made
<5087> (5758)

thee
<4571>

a father
<3962>

of many
<4183>

nations
<1484>,)

before
<2713>

him whom
<3739>

he believed
<4100> (5656)_,

[even] God
<2316>_,

who quickeneth
<2227> (5723)

the dead
<3498>_,

and
<2532>

calleth
<2564> (5723)

those things which be
<5607> (5752)

not
<3361>

as though
<5613>

they were
<5607> (5752)_.

{before him: or, like unto him}
